A Faith for Today

by ed in About the Baha'i Faith

Religion is renewed, He said, in every age to re-establish and apply the unchanging principles found in the scriptures of the Great Religions of the world to the needs of the present day.

From the Bahá’í Writings

…if the religions investigate reality and seek the essential truth of their own foundations, they will agree and no difference will be found.

These imitations may be likened to clouds which obscure the sunrise; but reality is the sun. If the clouds disperse, the Sun of Reality shines upon all, and no difference of vision will exist. The religions will then agree, for fundamentally they are the same.
